While it’s no secret that the view of the Statue of Liberty from Brooklyn is nothing short of stunning (especially Sunset Park or Red Hook!), I must’ve missed the memo. Did you know there’s a replica at the Brooklyn Museum?!

I was recently there for one of the fantastic free First Saturdays, and turned a corner in the stairwell. There she was, peeking up at me from the parking lot. I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped, because I had no idea she was there in the Sculpture Garden. And though the vision was definitely inspired, I couldn’t help but chuckle and recite:

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to park for free.”
